Formation: McFly's story began when Tom Fletcher was enlisted onto the songwriting team for the band Busted. He was soon asked to audition to be in a band called V and at these auditions he met Danny Jones who he roped in with him on the Busted songwriting team. They soon stopped writing for Busted and decided to collaborate and make a band, advertising auditions in NME. Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd were subsequently recruited with the pair making acquaintance over their shared love of 'The Starting Line'.

Fletcher chose the band name 'McFly' after Marty McFly in 'Back To The Future'; while Jones was initially reluctant to agree on the name, he soon warmed to it after watching the movie. Musical career: McFly released their debut single '5 Colours in Her Hair' in 2004, entering the UK chart at number one. Second single 'Obviously' then followed suit. They released their debut album 'Room on the 3rd Floor' also opened at number one, was certified double platinum and broke the world record for the youngest band to have a debut number one album.

Their first single of the year was double A side 'Please, Please/Don't Stop Me Now' which became the official song for Sport Relief 2006 and, again, reached number 1. Their third album 'Motion in the Ocean' was also released with single 'Star Girl' reaching number one. 2007 saw them release their seventh number one 'Baby's Coming Back/Transylvania' as well as their 'All the Greatest Hits' compilation album in 2007 featuring three new songs 'The Heart Never Lies', 'The Way You Make Me Feel' and 'Don't Wake Me Up'. Their subsequent tour was supported by Elliot Minor and Saving Aimee.

In 2008, they gave away their fourth album 'Radio:Active' in The Mail on Sunday before releasing it again with four added tracks, a DVD and a 32-page booklet.

McFly (L-R) Harry Judd, Dougie Poynter, Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher Background information Origin United Kingdom Genres Pop, pop rock Years active 2003–Present Labels Island, Super Website Members Tom Fletcher Danny Jones Dougie Poynter Harry Judd McFly are an English pop band who formed in 2004. The band consists of Tom Fletcher (lead vocals, guitar and piano), Danny Jones (lead vocals and guitar), Dougie Poynter (backing vocals and bass guitar), and Harry Judd (drums). They were signed to the Island Records label from their 2004 launch until December 2007, before creating their own label, Super Records. The band rose to fame after fellow band Busted helped launch them by inviting them to tour in 2004. To date, McFly have sold more than 10 million records worldwide. In 2005, they won the Brit Award for Best British Pop Act.

McFly's debut album Room on the 3rd Floor debuted at number 1 in the UK Album Chart and is certified as double platinum; this led to them becoming known as the youngest band ever to have an album debut at number 1—a title taken from The Beatles. A month after the album was released, the band had their first UK headlining tour. The band's second album, Wonderland, which was released in 2005, also charted at number 1 in the UK. Their third album, Motion in the Ocean, was released on 6 November 2006 and charted at number 6 in the UK. McFly released their All the Greatest Hits compilation album on 5 November 2007, which charted at number 4 in the UK. The band's fourth studio album, Radio:Active, was given away for free as a supplement in The Mail on Sunday on 20 July 2008, before being released in the conventional manner (via physical release) on 22 September 2008.

As of November 2010, McFly has had eighteen consecutive top twenty singles, seven of which reached number 1 in the UK Singles Chart and fifteen of which were consecutive top ten singles. In 2006, McFly appeared as themselves in the film Just My Luck, starring Lindsay Lohan and Chris Pine. They released a U.S. album, Just My Luck, which was also used as the film's soundtrack. The group has also performed at various charity projects such as Comic Relief, Children in Need, Live 8, and Sport Relief.

Best Of McFly 1.5 2013–Present: Greatest Hits tour and sixth studio album 2 Super Records [edit]History [edit]2002-04: Formation and Room on the 3rd Floor Co-Lead singer and guitarist Danny Jones met Tom Fletcher at auditions forV. McFly was named by frontman Tom Fletcher after the character Marty McFly from the 1985 movie Back to the Future. At first Danny Jones didn't like the name, but later came to embrace it. After he auditioned for Busted, but lost out on the place to Charlie Simpson (who later went on to co-found post-hardcore band Fightstar). Originally, Fletcher was accepted as part of Busted's line-up; however, the Island record label went on to reassess the situation, eventually deciding to have the band as a threesome rather than a foursome.

Though the record label decided against offering Fletcher a place in Busted, it was intrigued by his songwriting talents and later offered him a place on the Busted's songwriting 'team', alongside band member (and already accomplished songwriter) James Bourne; Fletcher has since stated that it was Bourne who taught him how to "properly" structure songs and how to "come up with good, poppy melodies".[citation needed] While writing Busted's second album, A Present for Everyone, Fletcher was asked by the record label if he was available to film auditions for a new band, V. It was at this time that Danny Jones and Fletcher met for the first time; Jones went to the audition mistaking the band to be an instrumental band rather than the conventional, all-singing, all-dancing boyband, for which they were intended. Fletcher was impressed with Jones' unique style and so approached and invited him to write with himself and Bourne. When writing projects for Busted had come to an end, the two began collaborating for their own (as of yet, unnamed) band and, eventually, moved into theInterContinental Hotel in London for two months, (while still receiving help from Bourne) to concentrate on writing together.

Bassist Dougie Poynter and drummer Harry Judd were subsequently recruited via a classified advertisement in the NME magazine. The pair, both Essex lads, coincidentally turned up at the same audition and got to talking over their shared appreciation of the band The Starting Line, after Poynter noticed their name and logo was printed on Judd's t shirt. The name McFly was eventually decided upon as the band name. Fletcher proposed the idea, based on his love for the American science-fiction comedy Back to the Future and Michael J. Fox's character Marty McFly. At first, Jones didn't agree with the name, but after watching the movie, he changed his mind. Especially after he saw that the side of the manure truck says "D. Jones" on it. McFly's early sound was surf/pop rock. Their debut single, "5 Colours in Her Hair", released 29 March 2004, entered the UK Singles Chart at number 1 in April 2004 and stayed there the following week. In July 2004 their second single, "Obviously", also topped the charts.

This was followed by the album Room on the 3rd Floordebuting at number 1 in the UK Albums Chart. It would go on to be certified double platinum by the British Phonographic Industry. The album broke records, as McFly earned an award from Guinness World Records for being the youngest band to have a debut album enter the charts in the top position, a distinction previously held by The Beatles. The idea for the album name came from where Jones and Fletcher wrote most of the songs for the album: room 363 in the InterContinental Hotel in London. The third single, "That Girl", was released on 6 September 2004, placing at number 3. The fourth single, Room on the 3rd Floor, the album's title track, was released on 15 November 2004 and reached number 5. McFly supported Busted on their nationwide arena tour along with V in February 2004 and then had their first headlining tour in September 2004.

[edit]2004–07: Wonderland and Motion in the Ocean Tom Fletcher of McFly performs at T4 on the Beach in Weston-super-Mare in 2006.

McFly's first single of 2006 was "Please, Please", released in the UK as a double A-side with a cover of the Queen hit "Don't Stop Me Now" on 17 July as the official song for Sport Relief 2006. It reached number 1 in the UK charts on 23 July, making it the band's fifth number 1 single of their career.

The album was released on 6 November 2006 and reached number 6.

The second release from the album, "Star Girl" was released on 23 October 2006, to promote the album. "Star Girl" reached number 1 in its first week. The third release from the album, "Sorry's Not Good Enough/Friday Night", was released on 18 December 2006, and reached number 3 in the UK singles charts. "Friday Night" is featured in the movie Night at the Museum, which was released on 22 December 2006, in Canada and the US and 26 December 2006, in the UK. Their next single, "Baby's Coming Back/Transylvania", was released on 7 May 2007, becoming the band's seventh number 1. The original single release date was due to be 26 February, but the band took up the offer to return at that time to the town of Kamwokya in Uganda, which they previously visited for Comic Relief in 2005. "Baby's Coming Back/Transylvania" holds the record for the biggest fall from number one for a non-limited edition single.

We are the best of friends," he tells Britain's The Sun newspaper. “We hung out at Coachella (festival), like all day, with her friends and my friends. It was really, really cool. Everything is totally fine. “She’s one of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. But just right now, it’s hard. I’m single now.” He blamed the split on them "just both being all over the place" and their schedules are set to become busier as Dougie has relocated to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career and his band McFly are set to go on tour in June (16) in the U.K.. The band have reunited as a four-piece following the end of supergroup MCBusted, which MCFly formed with two members of British pop-rock group Busted in 2013.

Ellie told Britain's Heat magazine in March (16) that she hoped she would get back together with Dougie as she thinks their story is unfinished. "I hope so - he's a real gem and he's doing so well and he's keeping busy, as am I. I hope so, he's a great guy," she said. MCFly's Anthology Tour kicks in Glasgow, Scotland on 16 June (16) and will be followed by stops in Birmingham, Manchester and London in England. The band are planning on playing their different albums in full on different nights on the tour. Contactmusic
